Adonis Reaper - Diverse Routes lyrics

{intro (spoken) - dmx} The industry If you ain't got a strong mind, the industry will break you down it's a matter of time The industry vultures with nothing to feast on See me, i'm getting my beast on I'm not an industry artist I'm an artist, in the industry So i do what the fu*k i want cos nobody can finish me The industry I'm sick of this industry sh*t The industry playing them like a industry b*tch They tried to finish me quick but i am long so i stand strong fu*k a beat, listen to the words in the damn song {verse 1 - savvy drew} (the richer you get, the better) (we jus tryna live a better life, you know, feel me?) (woo) I need a matt black phantom as a crew whip 2 lamborghinis for my 2 chicks Richard mill typa sh*t on a ni**a wrist And a castle designed by ferris rafuali Just a couplе things on my to do list ni**as look at me like i won't evеr do sh*t Cause they talking money and my pockets be fluent Cause im still on the streets like a loose b*tch Dmx rip Never see me in the flesh, i be working every week On the hustle in the come up that's the only place i been This ain't no buddy buddy this is war play for keeps I saw close homies take the wrong path Chase his dreams naw he would rather smoke gas It ain't too late, yeah bro i know that But i couldn't hold on, had to let go of that Wish you succeed wish you prosper Wish i get immortalised big poppa Wish i make it to the league, rap scholar Wish i travel round the world but still rep boksburg, east side {hook} I swear you gotta have some ambition at least The industry will break you, keep you on your feet If you comply, you gon get it on your knees But for me i gotta get it as i live Forget the system & the industry standards Rise above Couldn't take the same way so i made my own route {verse 2 - konscious x} Yo Diverse routes of three young ni**as Says a lot about you man if you don't feel us Cause we telling stories from the heart and turn it into art We came here on a mission to destroy the opposition Came from different backgrounds but shared the love for hip hop Now the journey's getting harder but we never flip flop The outcome of a tree begins inside the roots So before i blow i gotta kill it in the booth My brain is losing cells from thinking about the glory Feel like adonis reaper when he wrote "my allegory" Sometimes i hear my ni**as saying they want a hit Maybe i should give them "cbd" like savvy did I'm tryna kill all the demons that live inside my mind So i can free my soul and find a way to truly shine No need to rush the process you can really take your time From me to you don't hesitate, relax and press rewind {hook - adonis reaper} We came from the streets Always had a story so we tell it on a beat I swear you gotta have some ambition at least The industry will break you, keep you on your feet If you comply, you gon get it on your knees But for me i gotta get it as i live Forget the system & the industry standards Rise above Couldn't take the same way so i made my own route {verse 3 - adonis reaper} Look Dedication, firm mind & meditation Don't pay no mind to all the allegations That's some sh*t i wish i heard when i makin my first song cos i was worried bout how they'd receive it If i told them bout the sh*t that i seen, would they believe it? But lookin' back i'm actually glad that i didn't take the popular route & stuck to rap Know a lot of ni**as fooled by the trap So when they hear somebody like me spittin' real sh*t, they label him whack Who could blame em, they ain't used to that They used to overrated rappers rapping over static sh*t's a curse and i'm talking as a ni**a who done had it But if that sh*t is putting food up on your table, go ahead & do it Simply cos it's lucrative Uh (get money) Don't take criticism from a ni**a that you wouldn't take advice from If you stuck inside that 9-5 day job, teach your kids better Educate them further
